Medellin Reports

Can you give me a list of a good Centro strip clubs? As I have only been to La isla and Fase dos. What's the price of girls there? Safety at night in Centro is the reason why I've never bother to go there at dark.

Daytime Activities:

I recommend Comuna 13, Parque Arvi, Guatape (bus from terminal del norte), The town of Caldas (ride metro to La Estrella, take bus that days "metro caldas" Parque Explora aquarium and planetarium, Aero parque Juan Pablo (watersides and swimming pools, I've gone 3 times with 3 different chicas), Various museums (there are 2 in the Botero Plaza area), California Buffet (ayura metro station), check out Itagui and Envigado in the south and Bello (yes I said Bello) in the north.

Medellin why sus alrededores have much to offer, if you're bored here it's due to your own lack interest..

All good options. Boredom is a choice, not the fault of any place. I'll add some more.

Go to the castle museum in Poblado. Completely explore the metro system. Go to the bottom level of the Cenro Comercial Santa Fe Mall and race the carts. Have lunch at Classic Diner in Envigado for the Colombian version of a US 1950's Diner. Besides Caldas, there's Santa Fe de Antioquia and other small towns to visit, or Go to Pueblito Paisa in Medellin. Go to the stadium, El Estadio in Laureles. You can watch all types of sports for free, from cheerleading to basketball to martial arts to skateboarding, diving, basketball, volleyball and soccer (futbol). There's a smaller stadium where you can watch matches for free.

Go to the sports park in Envigado and learn to play Tejo, the Colombian national sport. Do the Hare Krishnas still do their thing in El Centro by Iglesia Veracruz? There's usually a few musicians busking by the Poblado Metro station. Also you'll often find various types of street performers at the busy intersections, jugglers, dancers, singers. There used to be some in Laureles with a slack rope setup (look up the Madonna Super Bowl halftime show for an example).

On Sundays and Holiday Mondays there's Ciclovia. In Poblado, 1 side of Avenida Poblao is shut down for pedestrians, joggers, bicyclists, skateboarders, roller bladers and a lot of young women in spandex. It's a good chance to get some exercise, drink fresh juices, eat fresh fruit and admire all the hot women. I usually refer to it as the camel toe parade.

I wasn't terribly impressed with California Buffet, but maybe I went at a bad time. However, just down the street is Los Contenadores, a collection of restaurants built out of shipping containers. There's also Mercado de Rio, Mercado de Tranvia and Mercado De La Playa, nice collections of restaurants. Look up La Mayoria, a restaurant overlooking Envigado, where they have horse shows throughout the weekend. Excellent food and views.

Finding something to alleviate boredom in Medellin is easy, but you do have to take the time to search things out.

Please do elaborate. Strip clubs in El Centro?

[Gabacho]

Do the touristy stuffs first, Go to gym, chill in the park, take a chica out to the mall, try different restaurants, try coffee shops, ride the cable car, take a day trip with a chica to outside towns of Medelln, walk around in El Centro, try the Casas, get a legit massage from spas, invite your favorite chica to hangout at your place during the day.

And the list goes on just have to plan better.

Great write up, need more like this. Great update. It will be my 4th time in Medellin in 2 years. Keeping current on the info is always helpful. Too bad as I will be gone by the 21 to Panama for a few days or I would have bought you a drink!

Ok guys, it's been a LONG time since I have written a report, but I will do my best to outline this for everyone on what I think is useful I have learned in the past 5 or so years. Also, for haters or the "I don't believe you" crowd out there. Save it, I don't come to ISG often, I won't waste time with replying to nonsense. My next trip to MDE will be from 4/28 - 5/3. If you are not an FNG and have made contributions to this board, please reach out and I'm happy to buy you a beer or share a bottle with you one night at a club.

There really isn't much to in terms of mongering during the day. From 12 to 9 pm I was bored as hell.

Did you end up going to the 5 dollars place by Pelourinho? You can go to El Centro to do the same during daytime. The quantity and quality are better with much smaller ass. Then you can go to the Centro strip clubs in the evening. That should occupy some of your time. It can be boring if you are just here on vacation. Have you tried asking the girl you met at night to come during daytime?

So you just reinforce what I have observed in Medellin. I assume you are talking about sex for money. There are things that I just don't want to know from people I know, especially that they have been selling sex. It's not my business, telling me does nothing.

These are very discrete. I doubt regular citizens would know. I don't think it is the problem. I think the problem is what Lleras has become if you compare it to before pandemic. Also so many foreigners concentrate in one area created a non level playing field.

My point was to rebut what Mr E. Said that Colombia doesn't care about hoodrats as if they're the only hookers around.

Where the regular citizen gets effected is when their wife or GF gets caught and it causes problems. It's all a trickle down effect. The locals are getting effected the most not just in poblado now but envigado and laureles as well.

Energy Spa is only about one Metro stop away from the one you get off for Comuna 13. I would combine these for a single trip. Going to do the same thing with New Life spa and back on the Metro to do the cable cars up to Parqe Arvi. Add on stops to eat, why wouldn't that help fill a day? Back to hotel by mid to late afternoon for a nap before dinner time. Just have to plan things out in order not to get bored, that's all.

Just a heads up bro the Linea L of the metro cable (the one that goes from Santo Domingo to Parque Arvi) doesn't run on Mondays. Also early in the morning and late in the afternoon and early evenings the metro is extremely packed with alot of people. Also when you get off at Acevedo to get on the metro cable do NOT try to get on linea K between 5 pm - 8 pm as there will be a huge line all the way down the stairs.

You will have to buy a seeívica card for 10 mil pesos to use the metro or you can go to the servicio al cliente centers at san Antonio station or Acevedo station and use your passport to get a personalized seeívica card for free and you will also get better prices on using the metro and on línea L as well because I think with the tarjeta eventual they charge more. With the personalized card you can also run it negative up to cost of one viaje.

Yes, I went to Comuna 13. It was very good. Some very nice views. There really isn't much to in terms of mongering during the day. From 12 to 9 pm I was bored as hell..

I'm spending only three nights in Medellin for my first trip since I'm also enroute to Peru and Panama as well. That's really only two full days in town which I intend to spend in addition to a casa visit each day, a visit to Comuna 13 and take the cable car up to Parque Arvi. I also like to sample local food so will be spending time at local restos too. If I had more time, I would take day trips out of town too. I think there seems to be quite a lot to do during the daytime there, not just mongering.

And the constant harassment for money, to buy things and to patronize a busines is too much for me. My ftiend and i was walking toward parque llares and a girl and i guess her bother harassed us for a block. They try to push us to stop and pretty much demanded money. Mind you they where with there mother or other relatives. The kids were native indians and about 7 and8. I looked at my homeboy saying to him do you see this. It was crazy. He said it worst in Cartagena.

You will see the same messaging in every metro and tranvia car as well as on the public address monitors and audio announcements. I think you are projecting a bit.

I saw this sign in one of the public transportation buses in Medellin today. It basically says that it's not acceptable to be ogling the ladies. It doesn't say ladies, but I think that is implied. It doesn't say anything about minors or foreigners, and there aren't a lot of foreigners riding the buses. I don't think the authorities are only picking on foreigners.

...

I've met doctors lawyers art dealers business owners all of whom have funded their educations through discreet ways.

I have friends who have met many girls who live normal lives now with well paying jobs by Colombian standards.

Many of them are married and make a good living. But if we call them up for a good time most likely they won't be turning it down.

So you just reinforce what I have observed in Medellin. I assume you are talking about sex for money. There are things that I just don't want to know from people I know, especially that they have been selling sex. It's not my business, telling me does nothing.

...
Theres also a list of A list Colombian women (newscasters, models, telenova actresses etc) that are available companions as well. They start at 2 k usd.

Maybe they don't give a rats ass about hood rats but they care that your main objective of being there is to bang their women.

I even know a female cop with a BF that use to be a fb girl. And I'm sure for the right price she'll come out. Lots of things you're not seeing and simply don't know. There's a much bigger side to it.

These are very discrete. I doubt regular citizens would know. I don't think it is the problem. I think the problem is what Lleras has become if you compare it to before pandemic. Also so many foreigners concentrate in one area created a non level playing field.

What do you do during the day (12 pm to 8 pm)? I'm bored as hell during those hours.

Nothing to do.

I also find MDE quite boring by large city standards. But afternoon and early evening is my PEAK time period. I either go casa, Centro streets, message a regular, or go early evening to a street club. Usually home and bored by 8 or 9 pm.
